Never been a horse person...but what drew me in enough to read California Chrome's story, chuckle at the story behind "DAP" on the silks, then be genuinely touched by, and interested in this at all was this photo of him winning the Derby, all decked out in purple and green.
See, I'm a little partial to purple and green....when I quit my paying job (with benefits!) to start The Refreshed Home in 2007, I had the name, and the colors, purple and green.
Can colors influence your destiny? Not suggesting California Chrome will run faster because he'd decked out in purple and green (for the record, horses aren't colorblind, but don't see colors as vividly as humans do) Nor do I work any harder just because those colors are on my letterhead.
Instead, consider this: Each color has an energy and an essence. When chosen well, I believe they naturally attract the people who will ultimately make the entity-or goal-successful.
In a nutshell purple is both regal and whimsical, the stuff dreams are made of; green is fresh, life and energy. Works for me and my business (and my clients); and if you know the back story of how this horse came to be, how hands-on, and lovingly he was raised, you'll probably agree it's appropriate , and has worked for him too.
Can colors influence your destiny? Well, as a Home Stager, I use color to resonate on listing photos, engage buyers and draw them through the entire house. As a Decorator, I help you get your makeup on right in the morning, be more productive in your office or business, help you feel all cozied-up at night, and ensure you throw lively, vibrant parties on the weekend. Those all sound like important things to me!
Will wearing purple and green help California Chrome win the Belmont Stakes-and the Triple Crown-tomorrow? Well, I think these colors have helped draw the kinds of people who've helped him get this far...and he's got my heart!!
